Guglielmo est de loin le meilleur hôte qu’il nous ait été donné de rencontrer. La maison est incroyable, calme, magnifiquement décorée et le terrain est sublime. Guglielmo a été très aidant et nous avons passé six merveilleuses semaines. Parfait pour se détendre tout comme pour travailler. Le jardin est sublime et l’intérieur agréable et très design. C’est un bonheur de se réveiller avec la vue sur la mer au loin. Un IMMENSE merci !

Encore merci pour tout c’était fantastique !

Sehr schön! Die Wohnung liegt zauberhaft in einem Hinterhof, erster Stock. Sehr schöne Terrasse! Die Lage ist ruhig, trotzdem es sehr viele Restaurants und Bars in sehr naher Umgebung gibt. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind leicht per Fuß erreichbar. Guglielmo ist sehr hilfsbereit und immer zu erreichen. Ein toller Aufenthalt!

Very responsive and accomodating. Agreed to purchase a few additional items for the kitchen and arrange for cleaning given the longer term stay. Very easy to work with!

Guglielmo’s apartment was perfect — my 76-yr-old mom stayed at his place for a month and the elevator really helped. The apartment is in an incredible location and was perfect for her. And Guglielmo and his team were super helpful and easy to work with, making check-in a breeze even though I was coordinating with them from the US while my mom was traveling in Rome. They made it so easy. I’m so happy my mom enjoyed the time there. Grazie!!

Thank you so much for helping my mom out so many times. She loves traveling and it keeps her mind and body working — otherwise she just sits at home in the US and doesn’t exercise or go out. I appreciate so much your working with me and her to help her have a great stay. I think you were able to fix the handle on the window—that was the only issue. We got everything else working great. Thank you again so much and hope to stay at your place again!

Everything was perfect and we had a great time in the apartment!
We were there during the winter.

What we liked:
1. location - in the heart of Trastevere, close to the bridge that connects to Rome city center. There were enough buses around to get by (some closer than others).
2. The place: its a proper home and not an "airbnb apartment". This means it feels warm and personal, and has everything you might need to live (rather than be just a tourist),
3. Rooftop - it is shared with other neighbors but on sunny winter days its perfect to enjoy the sun, have lunch, dry clothes etc.
4. The host - we didnt meet the owner but we did meet the contatc person Guglielmo who was amazing, hepled us with everything and was very communicative.
5. Bed - very comportable!
6. Instant hot water (using gas heater).

What can be improved:
1. Adding a microwave in the kitchen would be very helpful...
2. It was winter and thus very cold. We had to use the gas/radiator for heating which was super expensive. (around 160 eur, plus elec' which was 50 more - total of 250eur for 1 month of satying). Installing AC with good energy rating would save a lot to future guests. 
3. Pillows - there were'nt very comfortable and felt a bit "tired". Id recommed buying new pillows so guests can choose the ones that they prefer.
4. TV - the on in the aprtment is more of a computer screen, size 24 inch. I'd consider installing a new, bigger (at least 32-42 inch) Smart TV (so guests can connect their own Netflix, HBO or other streaming services). 
5. Oven - a bit basic for people who like to cook (like us). Also is uses gas and not just electricity. Would consider getting (even a 2nd had) oven which more cooking options

Overall: hightly recommended for a long stay in Rome!!!
Thanks for everything :)

Staying at Villa Vendicari made our 3 weeks holiday the most beautiful, relaxing and fun time ever. The villa is amazing!!! Everything from the beautiful architecture and design, the perfectly equipped kitchen, excellent bathrooms, the comfy beds, the incredible garden with the lemon and orange trees to the astonishing views from the terrace and the roof terrace was just perfect. We stayed in January when the nights can be a little cold but the fire place and heating system of the house makes it warm and cosy in every room which was important to us travelling with a toddler and a baby. Guglielmo is the most thoughtful and gracious host. He provided us with all the information we needed and gave us great insights about the area, local farmers and vineyards. He went way beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Thank You Guglielmo and Villa Vendicari for a wonderful time and feeling at home away from home.

Guglielmo, you now that we loved the villa and had the most amazing time. Thank You again for everything and we hope to come back and see you soon. Lisa, René, Franzi, Bonnie & Wim

Appartamento di charme, luminoso e silenzioso, molto ben attrezzato. La terrazza condominiale posta sul tetto offre una bellissima vista sul Gianicolo. Allo stato attuale lo raccomanderei per 2 persone, essendo il divano letto piuttosto scomodo. Buona posizione per raggiungere a piedi in pochi minuti il centro di Roma (piazza Farnese, Campo dei fiori, piazza Navona). Passeggiata gradevole attraverso Trastevere la mattina per raggiungere alcuni ottimi negozi di generi alimentari tipici, molto affollato la sera!


Come già scritto, l'appartamento andrebbe un pò rinfrescato, il confine tra charme e trasandato è sottile! Abbiamo apprezzato l'arredamento, dalle tende (alcune delle quali da lavare) alle lampade, belle le piastrelle della cucina e del bagno (rubinetteria da rivedere, stuccatura specchio lavandino idem, caffettiere da sostituire, manca una teiera un pò capiente), interessante selezione di libri e bei quadri/stampe alle pareti. Il divano letto è veramente scomodo, come del resto mi aveva preannunciato. Il terrazzo è una grande risorsa, non so se essendo condominiale è possibile per il periodo estivo attrezzarne un angolo per i clienti. Spero di non essere troppo noioso con questi dettagli, ma anche io affitto di tanto in tanto il mio appartamento al mare e sono abituato alle segnalazioni più o meno giustificate da parte degli inquilini. Un caro saluto, Pietro

Great location! Excellent apartment for two to share to explore Rome. Guglielmo was a fantastic host, friendly and making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you!

  Charles / United States of America

The kind of place that you cannot forget. Truly unique. The apartment is Rome.

  McDonald / United Kingdom

The flat was very conveniently central and very quiet, the 2 rooms were a good size

It was however incredibly, depressiingly dark. Lights had to be on at all times of day, but the lighting was totally inadequate. We had to buy 2  new lightbulbs to  enable us to read in the bedroom and sitting room.  In the extremely awkward, minimal kitchen the lighting was impossible: all the working areas: sink, cooker, small area for preparing food were in permanent heavy shadow.,  The system for storing clothes was extremely inconvenient the wardrobe was built over the bed with 3 v narrow draweers on one side.  In order to store and hang clothes you had to stand on the bed.  The dining chairs were incredibly uncomfortable.

Marco provided concierge type services for the property. he greeted us wit bread, cheese and vegetables. He arranged transport services to facilitate our visitation. he gave us a tour of the Amalfi Coast that was amazing. This tour which included a private viewing of a lemon grove, a walk thru Amalfi and history lesson, time at a sculpture's workshop, and finally a stop at a fishing village and lunch/dinner with owner and chef spending time with us enabled us to truly capture the essence of the Amalfi Coast. our accommodations worked well for our group of five. The highlight was Marco providing/arranging the activities and recommendations consistent with our group's desired activities.

The place is amazing. It’s is decently sized and very well placed with walkable distance from all tourist sites. Also the neighbourhood is great for spending a nice evening at bars / restaurants.

  Sara / United States of America

This was my first time in Italy and I must say it was absolutely wonderful. I went on a solo trip for a month as I was able to work remote during this time. The internet was great, apartment had ample space and the roof top was perfect for reading. Trastevere is the perfect location for a long stay. It is close to all tourist attractions but far enough to not be stuck the in center. It is a very safe area with plenty of restaurant and bar options to chose from

  Martin / France

Vraiment un agréable séjour. L'appartement est spacieux et bien équipé et on se sent rapidement chez soi. Je recommande!
Merci pour le séjour Guglielmo!

  Shelby / United States of America

I booked this apartment beacause Gugliemo had so many reviews. I am a nervous traveler and really wanted to be met by a local. It set me at ease to see him right away and he explained the way the things in the apartment worked including a mini class on how to use the Roman keys which was tricky. They fridge stopped working and he brought over a replacement straight away. So helpful. The apartment didn’t come with any frills. Just the basics and essentials. I did find that I needed a couple random things and I found them around the apartment when I looked like a roll of tape or glue because my shoe broke so that was so nice! The washer came in so handy! I really appreciated having it and the beautiful terrace! Also the bathroom has been completely remodeled since the airbnb photos it’s VERY nice. It’s definitely in the quieter part of trastevere (my favorite neighborhood of rome) but it’s not most quiet. You’ll hear ambulances and bells from the churches. None of which bothered me at all

Thank you a million times!

We came to Sicily to spend 2 nights and celebrate my birthday so we decided to book this villa and it was really an amazing experience! Guglielmo made this house and the surroundings absolutely fantastic! Even it was a middle of December the weather was marvelous and it allowed us to enjoy the peaceful rest outside the house with BBQ and a glass of wine. We loved a lot the way how Guglielmo furnished the house and we felt like at home. Thank you so much for advising us the place around and caring about our stay! We obviously will come back Grazie mille per tutto!

  Cecile / France

Cet endroit est une expérience de design : plus qu'une maison, c'est un cocon qui permet de vivre dedans / dehors, au contact de la nature avec un grand confort et le plaisir des yeux. Tout est beau dans cette architecture, la maison est inspirante, elle nourrit la créativité et les belles rencontres. Elle offre aussi beaucoup de lumière, même les jours gris, et une vue lointaine sur la mer dans une ambiance calme. Guglielmo communique avec sympathie, rapidité, gentillesse. Vous serez accueillis avec soin et de discrètes petites attentions, même à distance.

Merci, pour nos échanges. Je garde un souvenir délicieux de mon séjour dans cette maison. Je vous souhaite le meilleur pour cette fin d'année. Cécile

Our family of 6 stayed for 4 nights and absolutely loved the location! A minute walk to Campo di Fiori with its daily market and very good family friendly restaurants— we had no idea just how perfect the location would be! Super walkable and less than 5 minutes to a Taxi stand too. The host was so lovely and helpful with restaurant recommendations and booking a car for the airport since we had an early morning flight. She also provided some fresh fruit, milk and wine which was a lovely treat after a full day of travel. The terrace was a beautiful retreat! The stairs up to the apartment and then the top floor are narrow so as long as you are good with that it’s a truly wonderful place to call home! I’ve already told friends to book here!

La casa de Guiglielmo (Villa Vendicari) es un sueño. Está situada en el mejor enclave de la zona, en medio de la naturaleza, rodeada de jardín y árboles frutales. Lindante con la reserva natural de Vendicari y muy cerca de las ciudades barrocas de Noto, Scicli, Siracusa y Ragusa. Un oasis para compartir unos días con la familia y los amigos y aprovechar del clima templado que un viaje fuera temporada, está parte del sur de Europa, puede ofrecer esta parte de Europa. Guiglielmo es encantador. Amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar y responder a cada pregunta. Te sientes acompañada en cada momento, durante el proceso de reserva al igual que a lo largo de la estancia. Un 10!

  Eva / Finland

Its really hard to describe this amazing house and location. I wouldn’t like to write any review as i would like to keep it only to my self that no one else could enjoy this hidden beautiful place in Sicily. Anyway this is Home Exhange and you need to share (with pleasure) House is just perfect and location is - middle of Sicilian countryside with lemontrees, olivetrees and all absolutely everything. House it self is a great architectural “mind” and has all you need for your perfect stay. Even we had a huge storm for few days it was absolutely enjoyable. Thank you Guglielmo. We would like to come back.

  Christian / France

A beautiful house in a no less beautiful natural environment. Very close to a nature reserve and the beach, and 50 kilometres from towns with baroque architecture. We had an excellent stay.

  Anna / Australia

Guglielmo is a great communicator and very accommodating. The apartment is very well equiped and comfortable and so close to all the major attractions. The area is more local and has lots of great cafes and some pretty great Roman places to eat. Love it!

  Brennan / United Kingdom

A very comfortable, clean and convenient aprartment with metro connections around the corner. This is an excellent place to stay. Everything you would need day by day is there - kitchen utensils, washing machine, iron etc. Quiet neighbourhood, safe and secure.Totally without any problems at all.
 

  Jill / United States of America

Guglielmo is truly one of the best hosts - he was so thoughtful and thorough at check in and ensured our time in Rome would be off to a great start. He was always easily available by phone for any questions, which we greatly appreciated as well. The apartment is really wonderful - very spacious with lovely bohemian and artistic touches. The location is perfect, we really loved staying here and our time in Trastevere.

Thank you for being a great host! While the internet was unfortunate, we know it was out of your control and appreciate how responsive and helpful you were throughout the week.

Die Unterkunft ansich entspricht den Angaben, aber die Lärmbelästigung ist unerträglich. Wir haben keine Nacht durchschlafen, bzw. nicht vor halb 1 einschlafen können. In der Früh gängt es ab 5:00 wieder an. Des Weiteren zieht es im Schlafzimmer und im Badezimmer stinkt es nach Kanal.

Die Unterkunft ansich entspricht den Angaben, aber die Lärmbelästigung ist unerträglich. Wir haben keine Nacht durchschlafen können, bzw. Nicht vor halb 1 einschlafen können. Dafür kannst du nichts und das ist mir bewusst, aber so etwas sollte in den Angaben stehen. Des Weiteren zieht es im Schlafzimmer und im Badezimmer stinkt es nach Kanal.
